Julie you are a rockstar! I’m so proud of your great effort and wish you could be beaming from the summit but I know that you’ll have some great stories to tell about this tremendous attempt! You’re the real deal in my book! Love you! Liz

Steve & Tom,

Don’t feel bad I’ve been there — that is NOT at the summit! Tom can share that feeling twice now, but what an incredible journey. Despite a favorable ppt forecast in the end the winds of change ruled the day. Have a safe decent and hopefully the clouds will clear for some great pictures and fun glissading.

Julie, man, Mother Nature sure can be a bitch sometimes! But even she cannot alter your fierce bad ass woman status. I have lived looking at that monstrous mountain almost every day for the past 20 years and never even considered climbing it. I am so damn proud of you! Call me tonight if you need your local support!
Love, Ape

Steve,
So excited for this amazing journey you have accomplished. Sorry you all didn’t make it to the summit.
However, I am so proud of you for all your hard work and dedication.
I love you and I am waiting for your safe return.
Your loving wife,
Cathy

Julie,
You are a rock star! The fact that you even made it out there is an accomplishment. We all know that we cannot control mother nature!!! Hope Mimi kept you company and this is the beginning of good things to come for you! Love you TONS.

Julie, Congrats to You and the entire team for your superior efforts in your endeavor in trying to reach the summit. The climb was still a success for you and the whole team!! I am very proud of YOU! Can’t wait to see you on Saturday and hear all about it and hopefully see some great pictures. What happened with Mimi and Gunny? I LOVE YOU!
